- classichasclass 6y agoAuthor here. Sadly, not without a current toolchain, plus all the custom changes for Mac OS 9 on top of NSPR and other pieces. CodeWarrior is a solid compiler but the classic Mac OS versions definitely show their age compared to modern gcc and clang.
- duskwuff 6y agoI wonder how much work would be needed to generate PEF from a modern PowerPC toolchain...
- classichasclass 6y agoThere's Retro68. It might be able to pull this off. You'd still need all the other pieces, of course.
- stratosmacker 6y agoRegardless, thank you for all of your work and contributions. Keeping those old PPC devices alive did more for the environment than I think you'll ever be able to quantify. Not to mention, I had a lot of fun with old PowerBooks and iMacs surfing the web.
- classichasclass 6y agoHey, thanks. It's nice to hear it said.
- duskwuff 6y agoOh wow! I didn't know that was a thing -- it looks as though that's exactly what I was thinking of. With that in place... I suppose the next step would be to start writing a Mac OS browser shell to run WebKit in.
